Hello everyone!

Dodgeball is now complete and ready to play! You can play it in browser at http://8bittygames.com/dodgeball or download it from http://patchworkgames.itch.io/8bittygames. You'll also notice I've also combined all the itch.io listings into one bundle. From now on, when I release a new 8BG game I'll add it to this bundle so you can see them all in one place.

Dodgeball is a simple sports game where you grab the balls and throw them at the opponent while trying to dodge theirs. First to 10 points wins!

I'm really proud of this game. It was a study in game AI and I think I made a computer player that is challenging but not impossible. It was also a study in programming for pseudo 3d space, which I think worked out very well! All the game calculations and physics take place on a 2d plane, but the screen gets drawn on a bit of a slant perspective, which looks pretty cool.

Thanks again for all your support, if you enjoyed the game, please share it!
I'm already getting started on the design process for game 5. Spoilers: It's going to be multiplayer!!

Enjoy!

Hello all!

Today I'm proud to announce the release of Blarble 1290, the first and only Game Boy Printer-enabled interactive fiction game!

The story is a short sci-fi tale about humanity's relation to machines. It has 4 endings, some of which are SECRET.

Unfortunately you can't play this one in the browser, but the webpage for it does have instructions on how to emulate the printer with the VBA emulator. I'm also looking into other options.

However, this game is best played on real hardware, so if you wanna set up a time to play it, just message me and if you're in the Boston area we can set up something. Same goes for the other games, too!

Hope you like it! (also let me know if you end up trying it out, I want to see how well others are able to play it with emulation).

Check it out at http://8bittygames.com/blarble1290

Thanks and have fun!
